Waistcoat, by Harriet Parker-Jervis

Add to album

This waistcoat of patchworked knitted jumpers was designed and made by the artist Harriet Parker-Jervis in 1983.

The waistcoat was made of strips of patchworked knitted jumpers and lined with orange/turquoise shot silk.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
